If you believe PSA is damaging the corners or other aspects of the card, take some hi-res photos prior to submission. I have never sent cards for grading. I'm too cynical. I have 2 really nice 1968 Johnny Bench RC's. I'm afraid to send them in because I suspect they may even swap/switch cards. "Hey, here's a 9, keep it and send him back the 8." How would I know? Does it happen? Don't know. Could it happen? Yes. The only cards they would not be able to switch/swap would be serial numbered cards. If employees are handling cards worth potentially thousands of dollars, it would be very enticing to swap/switch cards.
That’s exactly what I’ve been telling people I’m going to start doing now 🙌 …Before each sub I’m going to make a vid/pics of each card front and back. This way I’ll know for sure it was them not me. I trust PSA that they wouldn’t swap out cards 👍 Could they, yes. But I trust Nat Turner and their new leadership. I think early on when PSA first started in the 1990’s there were allegations that might have been happening. But I’m confident they wouldn’t do that ever now. I just think they potentially handle the cards too much and incidentally create wear/dings on corner sometimes :( Thanks for watching!
Good video, glad you posted. I would just try to verify that damage before you throw PSA under the bus. It's pretty easy to let a few bum corners through when sending in 300 cards. You should do a full pre-grade video next time if you have concerns.
Yeah, good plan. I've seen enough grading reveals I decided I'm just going to do a video on each submission before I send them in. Seems like it's worth it on higher value cards for sure.@@littlevictoriessportscards197
Yeah, don’t really see the point in the pre grade photos. I think they are running the card savers through a fed scanner. Def an opportunity for older cards to get chipped/dinged
I’ve had the same I feel, I’ve sent In cards and they came back 7 or 8 with bad corners and I know it wasn’t like that wen I sent, I wouldn’t have if it was. Hate the new scans they show as you said it’s an extra touch poiht, how many cards they have to scan I can imagine the person not taking as such care as they should
Sorry you’ve had the same happen :( It’s all about touch points…I wish the grader was the only one touching it. Only the grader at a huge company like that knows and cares how to handle a card correctly. But I still feel PSA is the best overall 👍
They have been absolutely KILLING me lately!! Their grades make 0 sense. I dont expect everything to gem. But before June I was consistently receiving 65-70% gems on cards I thought would gem. Now I am lucky to get 5-10%! Nothing I did changed! I work in a dark room with a bright light, a black light, microfiber cloth, magnifying glass, and a literal microscope. And then they are so patronizing if you question them. Like Im the moron. I have spent thousands with them this year. I AM DONE!! I am so pissed at them. Watch the video on my page of the PSA 3 they gave my Kobe RC. And I have many more examples that are that bad as well. Their inconsistency is mind boggling as well. Theyre giving me PSA 3s and 4s on more modern cards that I cant find a flaw on, and then giving me PSA 3s on 1960's vintage baseball cards that have dog eared corners and some creasing..
Really sorry to hear that :( I’ll watch your video, and check out your channel tonight 🙌 Did you crack out that Kobe to look closer? I would love to look at it
I just got my order back also. 38 cards and I got 6 10s 😬. All my 90s Jordan's and 2000s Bradys got hit hard. 5 of my 10s were ultra modern cards. I'm seeing a trend here 🤔
Sorry to hear that :( Unfortunately I do think they’re grading the goat’s tougher, and 90’s cards seem impossible to gem lately. Better luck on your next sub 🤞🙌
💩 Nat Turner’s PSA graders DAMAGE cards now as part of their Population Control techniques and methods. They Damage my cards now Regularly, putting scratches, dents, corner damages on them 💩 💯
I just know I’m going to start taking quality pics of both front and back of each card before submitting 👍 That way I can at least prove to viewers I’m not making the damage up. Thanks for watching! 🙌
I did miss that spot 😬 I always admit when I do. That Reaves was definitely my bad. I’m definitely not perfect, but I feel I’m pretty consistently solid overall. Thanks for watching! 🙌
That spark plug jordan, many cards that old can have chipping but won’t get a 10. And it’s not Normal for the card to Gem like that even if it came out of the pack like that. Top left and right corners look like it’s not sharp. Psa has been grading way tougher these days. GL on the next sub
I think you’re definitely correct about the Jordan 👍 I just figured it would at least get a 7. My recent subs have been great thankfully. Should have some good vids coming up
I'm sorry... I got that grader too. Everything went down, not up. A couple teaser grades once in awhile. It happens. 😢 Hopefully the next few can earn some of that lost revenue from this batch. SGC is an option..
I’m sorry you got that grader too! :( It definitely happens, but it all evens out. Im going to ride the PSA rollercoaster for life 🤪 Thanks for always watching! 🙌
Do you think the graders are handing them rough? I just submitted my first order last month and the photos have been uploaded and is now in the grading process. I could see how a grader might have a bad attitude and be dropping cards or maybe being rough with them going back into the penny sleeves. It has to be like a Chinese sweat shop grading that many cards a month.
My gut is telling me that it’s not the graders. And from other people and my own experiences, there seems to be a pattern. It seems the top right corner is the one commonly damaged. This makes me think it’s something in the processing before grader touches it. But overall I think PSA does a great job, especially for the millions of cards they have to grade. I’m still a fan and will continue to use them for sure 🙌 Thanks for watching! Good luck on your first order 🤞
So, like you said, on one of the card you like, you know me? I wouldn’t send that in if the corner was a little whitening.? Which I absolutely believe you because I watch off you all the time and I know you looked at them 1000% front and back? So what do you think it is a PSA damaging the card or do you ever feel like sometimes they switch them out maybe I’m reaching here but I’m just saying ?
I appreciate you believing me 👍 I always check front and back corners thoroughly. That’s why I was shocked to see lots of white on back corners 😬 I don’t think psa is doing anything suspicious, I just think too many people at PSA are handling the cards before actual grader sees it. I’m going to start taking clear pics/video of my submissions before submitting 🙌 That way I can at least compare if I feel like they may have damaged it or not. Thanks for always watching!
nah i would never ever submit to PSA ever again if i had too many 9's like you did.. i would do better with BGS or SGC, you should consider trying a different grader!!
I had the same experience! Corners completely banged, cards I would never ever sub if they had such corners. What can we do? Don't think we should keep quiet.
Really sorry to hear it happened to you too! They need to handle our cards more carefully and less frequently. I noticed 7 cards in that order where dings occurred which I’m pretty sure weren’t there. From now on I’m going to make detailed pre-sub videos with clear images front and back of each card before submitting. That way I know for sure before I contact PSA 👍 Thanks for watching!
I complained to them about some 6s that definitely were better than 6s. They waited forever and than emailed me, basically telling me to f-off. Hope you have better luck.
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 I had a similar order everything from 2020 up even with flaws got 10s and 90s cards got 8s. It is so hard to get a 10 or even a 9 on 90s cards
Definitely not ideal :( But just part of the human grading experience 🤪 I really do wish the graders were more on the same page though. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Thanks for the honest psa reveal! Quick question in regards to you making presub videos and photos of cards. If you do have proof and make a claim aren't you afraid your orders in the future might be flagged or they might hold a grudge and really become strict with your submissions?
Good question 👌 The orders are supposed to be random, and the graders aren’t supposed to know who the order belongs to before they grade. So if that’s true, I’m not worried 🤞 I hope it’s true
I’m about to send in my first submission in a few months. Does PSA give the reason a card received a lower than 10 Grade? I’m assuming mine won’t be 10’s. One could only hope though.
They don’t give you an explanation if a card receives lower than a 10 unfortunately:( I wish they did! Hopefully in the future they will. Good luck on your first order! 🤞 Don’t let my order scare ya…the majority of my orders are fair and solid. Let me know how you do!
Yeah, definitely didn’t appreciate the man handling of that order :( But that is rare when it happens, and don’t worry not every PSA is a bad order. I’d say 75% of the time the orders are solid with a good grader 👌 And I’m able to make good profit. But I can understand peoples distrust or dislike…they need to be a little more transparent overall. Thanks for watching! Much appreciated
i dunno man i feel like the grade's are def down & I just dont trust these companies at all which sucks cause people dont want raw cards unless its for stupid cheap which is why not on my ebay i have to offer freebies with each sale
Yeah, I’ve been wrestling with whether I sent them in like that or not, but I’m usually really good with corners. I never send in dinged corners or lots of white showing especially on the back 😬 I’d say they damaged around 7 cards…luckily they were lower end. But still :( Thanks for always watching!
There is profit to be made, but you can’t get the wrong grader :( It’s a roll of the dice unfortunately. Overall it evens out, good with the bad. But dang these kinds of orders still sting. Thanks for watching! 🙌
I completely agree. I love subgrades…that way we learn where we went wrong. If BGS had a better website, customer service, status updates, higher sales market then I would love to use them.
I just wish they would tell us, we deserve to know. I’m good with the centering change, just want transparency if there has been a change 👌 From now on assume anything below 55/45 won’t get a 10 🙌 Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I would like to see pics of cards before u subbed them to see what the corners looked like. I'm guessing u just missed a lot of the bad corners as maybe u rushed getting the cards out to PSA?
Yeah, it was way off from the other very similar orders I sent in around the same time :( Luckily we don’t get that grader every time 😅 Thanks for watching!
I just got a submission back yesterday and got killed on it also, we both must have gotten "Mr. 9" as a grader. Also, make sure to check your slabs closely. Most of mine came back with scuffs and scratches on them and now I have to contact PSA and send them back to get re-slabbed.
Looks like the 9 Gods have struck upon you, that makes 2 of us. Overall not bad, a lot of 90’s cards in your order with good results. Are the cards going up for sale or for your PC?
The 9 Gods are brutal sometimes 🤪 All these cards will be up for sale in my eBay store 👍 Most are already listed as we speak. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Just got one of my subs back and took my gem rate down! Sent 20, got 7-10’s, 2-8’s, and 11-9’s!! Man! Got the 9 Nazi! And I also had a couple little nicks that I didn’t do….. hmmmm
Dang, sorry to hear that! You definitely got Mr. 9 😬 I’m thinking when PSA is busier more little nicks/dings happen. I don’t think they mean to….there is just too much handling of the cards throughout the grading process. Too many chances for slight damage to occur. Better luck on our next subs 🤞 Thanks for always watching!
Only have seen the first few cards but my latest (small, fortunately) return I saw some very low grades. I've been lower or spot on with my first 65 cards. I was off by 1-2 grades on 8 of the 10 cards i sent. Definitely unfortunate to see but figured it was a matter of time before I had a tough grader.
I wish I could crack these out. But most are lower end, so unfortunately it doesn’t make financial sense to crack and resubmit 😓 I can’t wait to see your reveals soon! I like watching your pre-sub vids, makes your reveals even more interesting 👌
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 agree the graders already have a preconceived notion going in that because of the age they must find something wrong with it
I've actually had a different experience RE: centering. I've had at least a couple cards that have received 10s despite being outside that 55/45 scale on the front. Enjoyed the video as always.
Brutal order...one thing I did notice was it seemed like there was something going on with the bottom right corner on the Jordan Spark Plugs. Not sure if it was just the way the light was catching it, but it looked off to me. The Chipper one was definitely the grader having no experience with the set...happened with me and one of my Bradys RCs (Collector's Edge Supreme). There were a couple of indents on the left side that I think the grader thought were imperfections and not designs on your Chipper card.
I always appreciate your comments. Your eye and knowledge is helpful 🙌 You’re exactly right on the Chipper…they just didn’t know how to grade the set. That kinda proves that I did have an inexperienced grader which led to that brutal order ugh :( I’ll take a look at that Jordan’s bottom right corner later tonight 👍Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching and enjoying my reveal 👍 I keep over analyzing whether damage occurred or not. I think I’m going to start making detailed pre-sub videos with clear images front and back of each card before I submit. Then I can know for sure if it was on their end or not 😬
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 definitely make a video before submitting. The problem we all have is we send in bulk and expect high grades. No matter how much I look over a card with all my equipment there is someone at PSA who really don’t care and push cards through because of deadlines.
Damn :( PSA definitely damaged some of those. Totally uncharacteristic of you to send off some of those lower end football cards expecting 9’s. Pulled the short stick this time I guess, still a great piece of entertainment 😂
Unfortunately I think they did mishandle some in this order :( I think too many hands are touching them throughout the whole process creating extra wear on the older cards. I appreciate you knowing me enough to know this order was uncharacteristic and not just me making stuff up 🙌
do you ever submit a quality assurance request to PSA? i did for the first time and i am waiting to hear back. I go through my cards pretty thoroughly and will definitely notice larger issues and wont send in those cards, i got one back that came back a PSA 5 and i noticed right off the bat there is a huge surface dent on the front and i 100% would not have sent it in. So i am in the middle of a request for that card and i am just wondering how this is really gonna go with them, i mean there is declared value entries for a reason right?
Let me know how your request goes 👍 I’ve never actually sent a request in or complained. But I’m going to start taking detailed pics/vid of my cards before actual submission so I have proof when I contact psa in the future 👌 Thanks for watching!
Bummer. I like how you crack them out to learn why they got the grade. You should save a few of the BS ones in that eight stack and do a re-submission video.
I’ll keep doing that crack out segment 👌 And you read my mind…I was just going through that PSA 8 stack thinking about which ones I might crack out and re-sub. Thanks for watching!
I’ve been cracking out cards for over 15 years so that’s why they come out so clean 🤪 I just use an adjustable steel wrench 🔧 and make a few cracks to the top then split the opening of the cracks with a flathead screwdriver 🪛 👌 Thanks for watching!
Keep watching more of my reveals…it all evens out 👍 Sure there will be a few bad orders like this one, but the majority are fair. Next weeks reveal is a solid order. Thanks for watching! 👌
Some complaining isn’t bad at all! A lot of us watch to learn about grading and what to look for and getting a raw reaction helps us learn even more :)
I like hearing that feedback 👌 I’m the type that can’t hide emotions very well 🤣 Overall I love grading and PSA, just stings when you get hit with these orders every once in awhile. Thanks for always watching!
I really appreciate your comment! 🙌 I try to be as honest and transparent as I can always. I’m definitely not perfect, but this order just didn’t feel right. It wasn’t consistent with my others which had very similar cards. Thanks for your awesome support!!!
You obviously are new to my reveals…I’m always admitting when I’m wrong. I always take accountability, admit my mess ups. I’m not saying PSA is painting on white to corners that doesn’t make sense. When a card is handled too much, wear happens to the cards corners and that creates white showing. Thanks for watching though 🙌
I've seen enough of his videos to know he's one of the best pre-graders out there. And I do know from experience that PSA can sometimes ding your cards and send them back to you scratching your head.
Ouch ..anything before 2010 was like an automatic 9/8
Yeah, in that monthly special, the years 1990-2005 got hammered
unfortunately :( Thanks for watching! 🙌
If you believe PSA is damaging the corners or other aspects of the card, take some hi-res photos prior to submission. I have never sent cards for grading. I'm too cynical. I have 2 really nice 1968 Johnny Bench RC's. I'm afraid to send them in because I suspect they may even swap/switch cards. "Hey, here's a 9, keep it and send him back the 8." How would I know? Does it happen? Don't know. Could it happen? Yes. The only cards they would not be able to switch/swap would be serial numbered cards. If employees are handling cards worth potentially thousands of dollars, it would be very enticing to swap/switch cards.

Why do we all keep holding this company at such high regards?
Overall I have more good orders than bad, and grading with them can increase the value of a raw card dramatically 👌 Thanks for watching!
Good video, glad you posted. I would just try to verify that damage before you throw PSA under the bus. It's pretty easy to let a few bum corners through when sending in 300 cards. You should do a full pre-grade video next time if you have concerns.

I’ve seen some hideous centered 10s usually in older graded slabs
Exactly, me too. No matter the grade, people should inspect and buy the card not the grade 👌 Thanks for watching!
Wow tough grades!
Not my favorite order that’s for sure 😖 Thanks for watching!
The pre-grade photos are pointless because it doesn't show an accurate condition of the card, just adds opportunity for damage.
100% agree. And they’re probably being held by a non-grader, which means they don’t know how to handle a card correctly without damaging :(
Yeah, don’t really see the point in the pre grade photos. I think they are running the card savers through a fed scanner. Def an opportunity for older cards to get chipped/dinged

It sucks that psa is so inconsistent and that you have to send multiple orders
Agreed. Each human is just too different…so hard for graders to be in alignment unfortunately:( Thanks for always watching!
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 I had a similar order everything from 2020 up even with flaws got 10s and 90s cards got 8s. It is so hard to get a 10 or even a 9 on 90s cards

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 makes sense. I just assumed that psa looks at the card on file when payment is inputed.

sadomasochists.

One reason I prefer BGS over PSA (besides being aesthetically pleasing) - subgrades. Those subgrades are very helpful mastering the art of grading.
I completely agree. I love subgrades…that way we learn where we went wrong. If BGS had a better website, customer service, status updates, higher sales market then I would love to use them.

I appreciate you saying that! And I’ll definitely keep doing the crack and learn segment every time an order needs it 🙌
The dreaded 'asshole grader' is what you ran into here, without question those grades are way off.
Yeah, it was way off from the other very similar orders I sent in around the same time :( Luckily we don’t get that grader every time 😅 Thanks for watching!
I just got a submission back yesterday and got killed on it also, we both must have gotten "Mr. 9" as a grader. Also, make sure to check your slabs closely. Most of mine came back with scuffs and scratches on them and now I have to contact PSA and send them back to get re-slabbed.
Sorry about your sub too :( I checked the cases and luckily no damage 👍 Thanks for watching!
Sheesh that was a castration
😂 Lol. Yeah, that order did not feel good. Next order is better though 😅
Got a submission back yesterday that was filled with 8s and two 5s. Just a brutal grader. Really frustrating how subjective it is.
Sorry to hear that :( Just the roll of the dice unfortunately. I wish the graders were more aligned with each other. Thanks for watching!
Looks like the 9 Gods have struck upon you, that makes 2 of us. Overall not bad, a lot of 90’s cards in your order with good results. Are the cards going up for sale or for your PC?
The 9 Gods are brutal sometimes 🤪 All these cards will be up for sale in my eBay store 👍 Most are already listed as we speak. Thanks for watching and the comment!
what is the name of your eBay store, I’ll check it out.

thanks again!
Just got one of my subs back and took my gem rate down! Sent 20, got 7-10’s, 2-8’s, and 11-9’s!! Man! Got the 9 Nazi!
And I also had a couple little nicks that I didn’t do….. hmmmm
Dang, sorry to hear that! You definitely got
Mr. 9 😬 I’m thinking when PSA is busier more little nicks/dings happen. I don’t think they mean to….there is just too much handling of the cards throughout the grading process. Too many chances for slight damage to occur. Better luck on our next subs 🤞 Thanks for always watching!
Only have seen the first few cards but my latest (small, fortunately) return I saw some very low grades. I've been lower or spot on with my first 65 cards. I was off by 1-2 grades on 8 of the 10 cards i sent. Definitely unfortunate to see but figured it was a matter of time before I had a tough grader.
True. I was due for a tough grader too. Take the good with the bad. Better luck on your next sub 🤞 Thanks for watching always 🙌
Ouch. I predict a copious amount of case cracking in your foreseeable future
I wish I could crack these out. But most are lower end, so unfortunately it doesn’t make financial sense to crack and resubmit 😓 I can’t wait to see your reveals soon! I like watching your pre-sub vids, makes your reveals even more interesting 👌
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 makes sense, I’d probably crack some of those 9s out of spite, profit be damned 🤣
@@pdxwax 😂 I like your thinking :)
At this point with PSA I just won’t submit anything to them that is older then ultra modern
I think you’re on to something 😅 They’re grading older tough lately! Thanks for watching!
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 agree the graders already have a preconceived notion going in that because of the age they must find something wrong with it
Gnarly scratch on your thumb
I was wondering if anyone would notice that :) I was clearing blackberry bushes in my backyard 🤪 Thanks for watching!
I've actually had a different experience RE: centering. I've had at least a couple cards that have received 10s despite being outside that 55/45 scale on the front. Enjoyed the video as always.
That’s lucky and good to hear! 👌 Hopefully they haven’t changed. Thanks for always watching 🙌
Brutal order...one thing I did notice was it seemed like there was something going on with the bottom right corner on the Jordan Spark Plugs. Not sure if it was just the way the light was catching it, but it looked off to me. The Chipper one was definitely the grader having no experience with the set...happened with me and one of my Bradys RCs (Collector's Edge Supreme). There were a couple of indents on the left side that I think the grader thought were imperfections and not designs on your Chipper card.
I always appreciate your comments. Your eye and knowledge is helpful 🙌 You’re exactly right on the Chipper…they just didn’t know how to grade the set. That kinda proves that I did have an inexperienced grader which led to that brutal order ugh :( I’ll take a look at that Jordan’s bottom right corner later tonight 👍Thanks for watching!
He can't miss. Never made a mistake. THE KING
The best part is you can retrieve all ur money back even on the not so good grades. I enjoyed watching ur reveal
Thanks for watching and enjoying my reveal 👍 I keep over analyzing whether damage occurred or not. I think I’m going to start making detailed pre-sub videos with clear images front and back of each card before I submit. Then I can know for sure if it was on their end or not 😬
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 definitely make a video before submitting. The problem we all have is we send in bulk and expect high grades. No matter how much I look over a card with all my equipment there is someone at PSA who really don’t care and push cards through because of deadlines.
I’ve been on the hunt for a reasonably priced Heat leaders card and for you to get it for $5 is an absolute steal
I figured that was a good deal 👌 Cool to see the big heat three on the same card 😃 thanks for always watching
Damn :( PSA definitely damaged some of those. Totally uncharacteristic of you to send off some of those lower end football cards expecting 9’s. Pulled the short stick this time I guess, still a great piece of entertainment 😂
Unfortunately I think they did mishandle some in this order :( I think too many hands are touching them throughout the whole process creating extra wear on the older cards.
I appreciate you knowing me enough to know this order was uncharacteristic and not just me making stuff up 🙌
do you ever submit a quality assurance request to PSA? i did for the first time and i am waiting to hear back. I go through my cards pretty thoroughly and will definitely notice larger issues and wont send in those cards, i got one back that came back a PSA 5 and i noticed right off the bat there is a huge surface dent on the front and i 100% would not have sent it in. So i am in the middle of a request for that card and i am just wondering how this is really gonna go with them, i mean there is declared value entries for a reason right?
Let me know how your request goes 👍 I’ve never actually sent a request in or complained. But I’m going to start taking detailed pics/vid of my cards before actual submission so I have proof when I contact psa in the future 👌 Thanks for watching!
Bummer. I like how you crack them out to learn why they got the grade. You should save a few of the BS ones in that eight stack and do a re-submission video.
I’ll keep doing that crack out segment 👌 And you read my mind…I was just going through that PSA 8 stack thinking about which ones I might crack out and re-sub. Thanks for watching!
junk slab era
Can’t watch the whining...
PSA Has definitely been hit or miss! How do you snap your cards out so clean?
I’ve been cracking out cards for over 15 years so that’s why they come out so clean 🤪 I just use an adjustable steel wrench 🔧 and make a few cracks to the top then split the opening of the cracks with a flathead screwdriver 🪛 👌 Thanks for watching!
The more videos like this I watch the less I want to get my cards graded.
Keep watching more of my reveals…it all evens out 👍 Sure there will be a few bad orders like this one, but the majority are fair. Next weeks reveal is a solid order. Thanks for watching! 👌
Some complaining isn’t bad at all! A lot of us watch to learn about grading and what to look for and getting a raw reaction helps us learn even more :)
I like hearing that feedback 👌 I’m the type that can’t hide emotions very well 🤣 Overall I love grading and PSA, just stings when you get hit with these orders every once in awhile. Thanks for always watching!
Ain’t ever scared to show the good and the bad grades on this channel.. That’s why I luv watching this channel 😎👊🏽🦾💯🔥
I really appreciate your comment! 🙌 I try to be as honest and transparent as I can always. I’m definitely not perfect, but this order just didn’t feel right. It wasn’t consistent with my others which had very similar cards. Thanks for your awesome support!!!
So somehow PSA added white to a bunch of your card corners? No submitters can admit they just messed up.
You obviously are new to my reveals…I’m always admitting when I’m wrong. I always take accountability, admit my mess ups.
I’m not saying PSA is painting on white to corners that doesn’t make sense. When a card is handled too much, wear happens to the cards corners and that creates white showing.
Thanks for watching though 🙌
I've seen enough of his videos to know he's one of the best pre-graders out there. And I do know from experience that PSA can sometimes ding your cards and send them back to you scratching your head.
@@arizonashaneI really appreciate that 👍
OG watchers of the channel know that LVSC does not miss like this. Happy to defend against this comment.
@@packsthatslap84 you the man! 🙌 Your support and reply made my night 👌
